Product Details

TotalBoat Penetrating Epoxy is a low-viscosity wood rot restoration and repair solution that seals deeper & cures stronger than industry-leading penetrating epoxies. It has no VOCs, no odor & is 100% waterproof once cured.

This 2:1 system is ideal for restoring rotten or damaged wood, or sealing new wood for lasting protection against humidity, salt, mold & mildew. It works by gluing cellulose (wood) fibers back together, sealing a bare, porous wood surface from the inside out. Double the penetrating power by mixing acetone with the epoxy resin solution in equal volume. Easy to apply by brush, roller, or inject via syringe. Surfaces may be painted or varnished after light sanding.

Choose from Traditional (65-90 F) or Cold Weather (40-65 F) formulas in Pint, Quart, 1/2 Gallon & Gallon kits.

Info & Guides

NO VOCS, NO SMELL.

Cleanup is easy. Wear latex gloves, wash off with soap and water. No solvents required.


APPLICATION NOTE: The wood must be bare and unfinished. Also, TotalBoat Penetrating Epoxy will not penetrate and level well when applied over some stains. Always test an area first. DO NOT USE on top of Minwax oil-based stains.


TotalBoat Cold Weather Penetrating Epoxy is perfect for use during the colder seasons. Compared to our traditional TotalBoat Penetrating Epoxy, our Cold Weather formula offers similar performance characteristics, but cures completely and reliably in cooler temperatures. Its tack-free properties also allow you to sand sooner.

WARNING: TotalBoat Cold Weather Penetrating Epoxy should not be used as a fast-cure epoxy in warmer temperature conditions because doing so can be unsafe and result in premature exotherm, brittleness, and improper curing.

Application Temperature Ranges:

  • Traditional formula - 65-90°F
  • Cold Weather formula - 40-65°F

I would but this product again
By Jim from Edisto Is, SC

Verified Purchase

I'm on the coast of SC facing almost due south and my wooden handrails get a ton of hot sunlight & I'm having trouble getting latex paint to last. So I'm trying an epoxy treatment to see if the epoxy can better stabilize the wood & reduce the expansion & contraction. I only recently read that this epoxy was not well suited for treated lumber but because it was KDAT lumber & it's aged for more than 3 years, I hopeful the epoxy will fully adhere & hold up as a base. We'll see. The epoxy went on as expected & 2 coats gave me the finish I was looking for as a base coat under primer & paint.

After 2 coats, all the cracks are filled in and the surface is level & sealed. Sand out the bugs, prime & paint to go. Then the rest of the railings.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Unfortunately, the hardener leaked during the shipping, but customer service was great and a replacement was sent out. Worked well to seal the rotting wood on my live edge slab. I am happy with the results.

I would purchase the product again
By Frank from Western Massachusetts

Verified Purchase

I am dismantling and reassembling and 1959 Century runabout. As the pieces are cleaned and prepped they receive a coat of Total Boat CEPS. As we have progressed to the staining and varnishing of the craft. I have used CEPS as a sealer. (The CEPS does yield a darker tone than traditional sealer, and I would not recommend it, CEPS, for a sealer on blond or Avodire surfaces.)

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
